# nerfacc

This is a **tiny** tootlbox  for **accelerating** NeRF training & rendering using PyTorch CUDA extensions. Plug-and-play for most of the NeRFs!

## Instant-NGP example

```

```

## Performance Reference

Tested with the default settings on the Lego dataset.
Here the speed refers to the `iterations per second`.

| Model | Split | PSNR | Train Speed | Test Speed | GPU |
